Upon the Serbian’s resignation to join South Africa side Orlando Pirates, FUFA appointed his assistants Moses Basena and Fred Kajoba to take over interim basis.

It could come as a shock, but when Basena named a provisional team of 27 players, Luwagga was on the team.

“I am a parent and like Jesus Christ, because am a Christian. When someone says I am sorry, why not forgive him. Anybody can wrong. When that person realizes the mistake and says sorry, there is no reason he is not excused,” Basena explained.

On a positive development, Luwagga has vowed to play for the team and quickly forget the past.

“I am looking forward, what happened then belongs to the past. I am ready to serve and work with the rest of my teammates,” Luwagga remarked on learning of the news of his recall.

Other players making a return after sometime out are Dennis Iguma, Isaac Isinde and Geoffrey “Baba” Kizito.

A bulk of the team that featured in the recent matches against Ethiopia, Senegal (friendlies) and Cape Verde in the 2019 CAF group L qualifier away to Praia have been maintained.
